Covert Secret Hitler
Everyone looks innocent. Someone isn't. One player is secretly Hitler — find him before the fascists vote him into power.
Secret Hitler Online is a free, fan-made browser version of the classic social deduction game — the same hidden roles, secret voting, and political intrigue as the tabletop original, made easy to play with friends from anywhere. It is unofficial and not affiliated with or endorsed by the creators of Secret Hitler.
The game
A social deduction game of hidden roles.
Secret Hitler is a social deduction game set in 1930s Germany, on the brink of political collapse. At the start, everyone is secretly dealt a role — a liberal majority, a smaller circle of fascists, and, hidden among the fascists, Secret Hitler himself. Only the fascists know who their allies are.
Everyone can see which policies get enacted, but no one can see who chose them. That gap between what's public and what's private is where the whole game lives: every claim is a clue, and every clue might be a lie.
- Elect A rotating President nominates a Chancellor; the whole table votes the government in or out.
- Legislate Behind a screen, the government enacts one secret policy — Liberal or Fascist. The discards stay hidden.
- Deduce Debate, accuse, and spend the powers that fascist policies unlock — investigate a player, or call an execution.
- Liberals Win by enacting five Liberal policies, or by assassinating Hitler once an execution power is in play.
- Fascists Win by enacting six Fascist policies, or by getting Hitler elected Chancellor after three are down. Getting there is the whole job: lie about your role, frame the liberals, and bend every vote your way.
